I think he might be talking about the front reinforcement bar thing.

The radiator support?
Bumper support?
the bar that runs along parallel with the oilcooler?


Radiator support and bumper stays. Its a safety feature and shell rigidity thing.

I don't know what the other bar next to the oil cooler is for. I think my oil cooler is mounted on it.

What if a dyslexic, retarded, OCD troglodyte whacked out on ecstacy who had a habit of throwing *****'s at people after pulling them out of his *** had a car that ran? You'd believe anything that he said as well? And yes, this is a retarded drifter punk thing. Everytime I've called one of them out the only response they have is, "WTF do you knowm your car don't even run. I drift my car mad tyte yo and bouce of rev limit all day. I drive **** outta my car and your car sit on jackstands!!!" Again - SO ******* WHAT!?!?!?!?!




I'm not talking down to him becuase he's a drifter. I'm "talking down" to him becuase what he thinks is right when he has ZERO proof whtsoever. All he has is what he thinks which I disagree with completely. He has no proof - end of facts. I hate it when people come on the forum and start stating thier opinion as fact. It drives me batshit insane. All he is doing is spreading misinformation. Until he has actual proof other than sitting in line for a drift event, he should STFU. End of discussion



What does my budget have to do with anything? I don't have a budget so it should be irrelevant anyway. Spending wads of cash doesn't make you smart either. Actually experimenting and comeing up with proof is what matters. One test is worth more than a thousand opinions.
He's not being an ******* about it, i don't see why you have to, that's all i'm saying, he's being open minded and not acting like some stupid drifto kid.

but I guess here on this website everyone has forgotten this is supposed to be a community

TitaniumTT, You probably got a bad day or something? Ive never say that im better because my car runs. But im not one of the guys around here that knows stuff "at the paper". I actually use the car and thats where i get experience from.
And on topic. To adjust my previouse answere. I dont mean that the radiator itself is the one causing the heat issues. The discussion is often FMIC vs Vmic. I ment that having a Vmic will give you higher temps, faster, when standing still. It also cools down slower than a Fmic. Great thing with the Vmic is the airflow to the rad and oilcoolers.

Seems like a huge oil pressure drop between the stock setup and going twin oil cooolers with that size oil lines. Looks good in the pictures, but I would not race that car with that setup.

And why the hell not? I guess all those FD guys running around with basically the exact same setup have no clue? All the companies out there putting out dual kits haven't a clue. Rotorsports Racing doesn't know a ******* thing when they sell basically the exact same kit for an FD track car. Explain why you wouldn't race it? Right now she doesn't run. I still have alot more work to do before it's close to being lit off for the first time

It's a Cosmo with FD twins. I'll be running an FD regulator. From what I understand, there is no difference in the pumps. I could be wrong though.

Great setup just thought you had an FC engine in there still, I stick to my previous statement, there is quite a difference in oil systems between years, I managed to learn that the hard way. FD/Cosmo should be ok for that. Hope you get her done and enjoy that beast looks like it will run sweet with the twin turbo setup.
